Delighted Jess and Max won.
The cynic in me says they realised £25k each is a nice sum and better than risking the whole £50k on the turn of a card but the romantic in me says they meant the love cards and weren't bothered about winning the money. I did wonder through the evening how Jon managed to buy an engagement ring? |

Look, I'm going to say it. There's something not right about Cally. She's very cold, and very strange.
Yes!!! I am glad you have said this. Something has niggled me every time the camera zooms in on her. I totally agree. I don't think she is at all happy with Luis. She looks kind of trapped I think. |

As everyone else has said, so glad Max & Jess won! I watch a lot of reality TV and usually give things on these shows the benefit of the doubt and am not very cynical - but even I knew the whole Jon and Hannah thing was too much. I was biting my nails down to the last minute that they might win it.
Liked the twist and never seen it coming. As someone else mentioned, Jess had a very good poker face - I thought she had picked money! The only reason Max & Jess won was 100% Jess. And in a funny way I think Naomi played a part in why she won. If she hadn't been pied she wouldn't have got the sympathy vote. Jess is very flirtatious and sexual and I'm not sure people would have warmed to her or voted her to win had she not been pied. Overall it was a great guilty pleasure, addictive, car crash of a series! Has been much better than Big Brother this year. I have always said the best reality TV is not just tension and drama but fun and laughs are needed too, and Love Island had the perfect balance of these. I highly doubt we will see it come back again, but in a way I'm glad it won't be. They would probably only ruin it if it did. |

What started off as a slow burner really did ignite into a thoroughly enjoyable show. The cast may not have been the most pleasant of people but boy did I get attached to each and every one of them (except dire Jon). Congrats to Max and Jess. Thoroughly deserved. Here's hoping to another series.
Ps will we be seeing Jess and Max on celeb big bro anytime soon? |

Radio times said ratings were their best in that slot for a while and overall averaged well, with some good peaks. They were calling that another series was likely

Well I'm so happy that Jon and Hannah didn't win. Their 'love story' has just been getting more and more ridiculous each episode. As for the proposal.... pffffffttt. It's like they (Jon, Hannah, the producers) just gave up on trying to make it seem remotely realistic and went off with the absurd marriage idea. I wonder if it was all planned from the start around them, to culminate with the babies, and then the 'commitment ceremony'. Don't get me started on the ring or the phone call home. They didn't even attempt to explain how he pulled a ring out of his pocket.
Because of the premise of the show (get in a couple, potentially win 25k) it means that people are going to actively try and maintain some kind of realistic 'love' or 'relationship' and in that way the show is kind of set up for people to pretend they have feelings for someone. It wouldn't work if the final was 4 couples who were friends/vaguely fancied each other/fumbled around but had no real feelings. So I can't help but think that all of them have been coerced in to parading some kind of relationship and hamming it up with feelings, talks of marriage, etc (not to the extent of Jon and Hannah though who I'm convinced were plants from the producers from the start). Josh has shown himself to be a pretty horrible and petulant person. Jon got one thing right, which was that Josh is immature. He's like a 12 year old. I hope he wakes up to it but I doubt it. I've never found him attractive but I got the feeling Caroline Flack did... I do have to say that Max was definitely looking extremely attractive last night. As for the behaviour - I found it really unacceptable the way the parents and islanders spoke to each other/seemed to think their behaviour was ok. If I went on TV and even just spoke like they did (without the behaviour of some of them), my parents would go mental. They wouldn't even consider going on the show. I can't believe the amount of swearing/crass references made to and from the islanders and parents. However my boyfriend and his parents seem to swear a lot/make pretty crude references and we're the same age (older than the islanders but still relatively young) so maybe it's just down to your family way. I find it really uncomfortable though. I'm not sure what I'll do with my evenings now either... |

Hmmm, I'm not so sure why Max is being so harsh to Naomi. He liked her, he shouldn't just take other people's opinions as gospel. He should at least watch things back etc before making his mind up. It's a big harsh for him to say "If my brother has half a brain cell he should stay away from her." He also said on Twitter, during a Q and A: "I'm going to ignore Naomi, her actions have hit the nail in the coffin." Not sure what actions he is specifically referring to. |

For those who dont use twitter, a Q+A with Jess and Max on match.com.
Q - did you at any point consider choosing the money over love? A - No 100% not @__karena__ ! It was Love Island, and I was there for love. I never thought about the money at any point Max I could've happily walked away with nothing @__karena__ . Theres no way I would have chosen money over love Jess Q - what is the first thing you did when you left the villa? A - I let my hair down and had a drink @stockhlmhes! It was really surreal, winning the show and being with all the islanders afterwards Max I spoke to my mum, dad and brother @stockhlmhes! I can't wait to see them again Jess Q - what was the best bit about your time in the villa? A - The horse riding date was a good laugh @CharlotteSmart8. We were absolutely useless on those horses. They didn't listen to us! Max We had so much fun on the Mark Wright night @CharlotteSmart8. Max asked me to be his gf too which was the cherry on the cake JessQ -are they going to stay together now that they are out of the villa? @maxmorley1 @AmberMaeMdl A - 100% @ell97000044. We even said that we'd go on holiday together Max Q - max and Jess who would you say you were the most close to and who you were the least close to #loveisland A - At the start Chris @you_toobluvin, but towards the end it was me and Lu, he's a top bloke Max I was least close to Daisy @you_toobluvin. She kept herself to herself. Nothing against the girl but we didn't really click Max CLOSE > Hannah xx LEAST CLOSE > NAOMI @you_toobluvin Jess Q - Jess are you over the lie detector incident? #asktheislanders @match_UK A - I'm totally over it @lisa_frenzy, I totally forgot about it! Jess Q - Max what will you do if Naomi tries to get in touch outside the villa?? @match_uk #asktheislanders A - I'm going to ignore Naomi @lisa_frenzy, her actions have hit the nail in the coffin. But if she wants to talk I'll listen... Max Q - Max where do you plan on taking Jess on your first date on the outside? @match_UK A - Cheeky nandos and cinema @grumpykidcal. No expense spared, popcorn's on me! MaxQ - Jess & Max👫congratulations🎉 what will you both spend the winnings on? #asktheislanders A - I've said to my nan that I'd take her to New York @KatScott_. I haven't thought about the money beyond that yet! Jess I'm giving my family 10k @KatScott_. I'm not sure about the rest. Maybe get a mortgage or I'll enjoy it... Max Q - Is their anything you would change about your Love Island experience?? A - Maybe the Naomi situ, I wouldn't have pied Jess off. I'd have never done the lie detector test. Otherwise no regrets @LeanneOConnor98 Max I'd change nothing @LeanneOConnor98. It's all part of my journey JessQ - is it just lust or love? A - LOVE @nevesquires Max LOVE @nevesquires Jess Q - describe each other in one word!☺️ A - ROLLERCOASTER @ItsTheOnlyWaay Max BEAUT @ItsTheOnlyWaay Jess Q - what is it like to be together now after everything you have been through? (To both Jess and max) 💖 A - Amazing, the world has been lifted off my shoulders and it's so nice @poltatettu Max Amazing, I didn't expect to be in a couple after everything that went on in the villa @poltatettu Jess Q - What do you like the most about each other plus loved you both on @LoveIsland #AsktheIslanders A - She's so funny, the way she talks and always says babe @kimberl16368630 Max We have such a laugh! He's really good looking too (which helps) @kimberl16368630 Jess Q - how does it feel knowing you've won max & jess? #AsktheIslanders #spons A - It hasn't hit home @Shaniaa_1D. It's crazy that we've won against the other couples Max Q - who do you think you'll keep in touch with now it's all over? #AsktheIslanders #spons A - The finalists and Chris @Shaniaa_1D. It got me when he left Max Everyone apart from Naomi @Shaniaa_1D. Daisy, Han, Cal, Lauren and Zoe will be my girls Jess Q - what's one thing you've learnt about yourself now it's over? #AsktheIslanders #spons A - I've learnt that I'm a lot stronger than I thought I was. I was pied, but I still got on with it @Shaniaa_1D Jess Q - Max what did you think when you seen jessica in that wedding dress A - I wanted to rip the dress off her @Jess099Jessica! Max |

They're going on holiday together? Confused as to what they've been doing for the past 6 weeks...
I am rooting for them though, As much as I can't see them lasting, I hope they do. |

Great little twist at the end, just for a minute I thought they both might choose money!
Rather glad smug Jon didn't win. I also think somethings not quite right with Cally, she just doesn't seem happy. I can imagine Luis being extremely controlling though. |

I think they're being very sensible in that Mirror article.
At least they're not being as ridiculous as Hannah and Jon. |
